Yeah, you're right Chad. That must be the reason people would be upset about your being discourteous. Because they're members of a clique.
Good luck with your traveling puppet show.

Chad, you may well be a nice person, but you seem to be utterly missing the point here. All of the other people who have written one of these FNRs are nice people too, deserving of the simple consideration of an email asking "Do you mind if I...?"
It's not like the impulse to want the thing to continue is not understandable, but you've succeeded in diminishing what was a nice thing by failing to let it go, and by acting as if failing to treat it as a sacred trust is a personal affront to you. My late posting was met with the "punishment" of your refusal to read or rate or respond to my email to you. The fact that J.No hadn't given you adequate confirmation that she'd found someone to take it over was met with your siezing it back to make sure that, god forbid, another Friday wasn't missed, again without the basic consideration that a "nice person" would have given her.
Kindly remove the link to mine from your profile page. I no longer want to be a part of this sacred line, and I'll be removing my ramble.

Glad you enjoyed it!
And of course I forgive you!
And really, I must apologize. I totally didn’t see the cross on which you’ve perched yourself, “good guy.” Or surely I would have remembered the difference:
Napoleon “dictates”. Jesus "guides”.
My bad.
Whew. Glad that is all cleared up!

wow. that was fun to read. think what you want. i'm glad this is now some personal issue with you, and you feel the need to resort to name-calling because I tried to guide things. Forgive me feeling overprotective of it, if that's a sin, i'm a sinner. but i'm also a good guy and could do without the negativity you seem intent on throwing my way.
it's fine, i can handle it. it doesn't mean i necessarily understand it though...

Well, here's the thing citrusboy - I could care less who you choose. I am sure millinocket is a swell person. So don’t even try that "just because you don't like who I choose" bullsh!t with me.
It's not who YOU pick, it’s the fact you feel it is your right to “step in” in and pick in the first place. It’s how you go about micromanaging this project that not only sucks, but sucks all the fun out of it. Instead of just letting this ridiculous thing run its course, see where it goes and let people have fun, as it was meant to be - you poke your little sticky fingers in it as soon as it takes a turn YOU are uncomfortable with, just to make sure YOU get linked and YOUR ego gets stroked ON TIME. EVERY WEEK.
Please. It’s a “project” you abandoned ages ago. Something you wanted nothing to do with any more until Sordid came along and saw a great opportunity to give many other writers a chance to let loose and have fun spewing out wacky drunken ideas without worrying about the confines of actual product reviews. Well, guess what. Turns out it’s not about the writing any more, it’s about YOU YOU YOU isn’t it? “my baby” “my thing” mymymymymymy, “I was willing to LET this person or that person ramble again.” I this, I that.
Maybe Jno had dusty all lined up and ready to go BEFORE you decided to AGAIN step all over this “project” and twist it in the direction YOU wanted. Did you ask her? Did you try to find out? Maybe she did, maybe she didn't the point is - surely this precious baby would merit such an effort to keep it “breathing”.
Maybe if you would have ASKED Eyore, you would have realized he was running behind, but had every intentions of keeping YOUR “baby” alive.
Did you do any of this? No. Instead you had to get all freaked out at the possibility YOU might miss your weekly ego stroke and once again crown yourself Napoleon and get all D!cktator-like when it’s not even your place to do so anymore.
Because you know, I hate to even have to point all of this obvious crap out to you – as this project WAS supposed to be a good thing. A fun thing started by Sordid as an act of good faith and fun for the “community”.
“The “Friday Night Ramblings” live on. But not in Chad’s tender, lovin’ (if not a bit morose at times) hands, and certainly not in MY grubby, a@s@s-clowning hands. Rather in the hands of transient caretakers.
A positive thing started again for other people. From Sordid on - it ceased being about YOU, but something for EVERYONE ELSE to enjoy – without having YOUR or anyone else’s intentions thrown in to mess it all up. Even if it does eventually “die out.”
Because you know, it might eventually, and that’s an okay thing – maybe that’s its course. If it’s not about YOU, then just let it run its course.
But if it is about YOU (and I think we all pretty much know at this point, through your actions, and your comments and your language – it IS) then by all means, let’s drop the pretense that writers are free to do with the ramble what they wish once they are finished and YOU just go ahead and post the names of the rest of the year’s FNR Writer’s Itinerary on your page so those people can get crackin’ on their posts NOW, because we now know what happens if they are the slightest bit late.

by lemon_lime
huh? no one 'stepped up to the plate' and it was thursday and i wanted the ramblings to continue so i emailed millinocket and asked her and she agreed to do it. i'm not sure how exactly i was wrong here. all jennifer had to do was pass it to somebody, but she didn't - until after i had to step in and pick somebody - and so it's really not my fault if you don't like who i've chosen. Besides, if dustygold decides to ramble that is more than okay with me, the more the merrier...i was just trying to make sure my 'thing' didn't meet its end because jennifer didn't officially pass the egg. (though i was more than ready to let mr. eyore ramble again for the record.)

Did you even bother to maybe EMAIL people to see what they have cookin' before you get all control freak-y?
Kinda sucks all the fun out of it.

Oh Jennifer, this was lovely, lovely, lovely. I especially liked dirty dishes brinksmanship
and no matter how often a woman goes spinning around her bedroom in her underwear in a show of individuality and quirky quaintness trust me, menstruation is where you want rigid conformity.
Something I have used for menstrual regularity, that really seems to work: squirrel testicles ground with marjoram and bicarbonate of soda. I use a teakwood mortar and pestle for authenticity, but I think you could just as well use a Cuisinart. Mix up some really big batches!
You already are a huge gay icon for me.
Menstrual calendar - is that some special calendar you buy in a wimmin's only store, or just a regular calendar where you circle the special days? I use a sundial to time my menses.

Lemonlime, you are a big man to apologize. Still, you should go back and read mr.eyore's ramble, because even though he was late, he was the major buttkicker who pretty much armtwisted and bribed kellydeal, JNo, Niccy6 and ODB to put stuff up here again. So, all in all, you both did good in my book.

Re: Re: ... (Reply to this comment)

jennifer,
you should feel bad about the name calling. i cried myself to sleep last night.
but i'm confused as to why you think i live in montana? i've never lived there, never even been there actually. i have a friend who lived there once a while back, but that's about as close as i get to a montana connection. well, and i rooted for Joe Montana one in 1984 when he was in the super bowl and i was a little kid. so is this just some super duper intellectual joke that i am missing? because those kinds of things tend to go right over my head.
and jazzbocrow, if you ever come back here and read this, i do apologize both sincerely and heartily for not pimping your rambling more last week. it was a busy week, they took the internet off of our computers at work, blah blah blah. but i loved what you wrote and felt bad that your entire first paragraph bashed me...though i did deserve it. apologies, for real.
chad.

You have really put your finger on it with the worry about him. Everybody thinks he's the strong one, while Meg is perhaps being duped or somehow made vulnerable by his ambition. That fake marriage vibe proved to be very protective for both of them, creating an aura that mystifies still and distances in an introverted, unavailable way.
So maybe he'll be okay after all, if he's anonymous and insulated to an extent from the start.
My real name's not Eric, either. It's Shawn.
Kisses, JN, always

Yay for menses! (Reply to this comment)
by jazzbocrow
I have been thinking about adjusting my pill cycle so that I won't be starting on Tuesdays (since bleeding makes it a no-no to do the inverted poses at my yoga class). The problem with this is that if I move it to Wednesdays it messes with my sex weekends. What to do? Does one ever tire of talking of the flow?
And hey, lemomlime was inspired by you. I guess I will cut him a little slack.
Oh, and your name is not Jennifer? Next thing you are going to tell me is that you are not Bridgette Bardot's doppleganger. You are such an internet phony.

In your honor, I have started choreographing a routine for girl you have no faith in medicine. So far it includes a great deal of boot stomping and waving arms (and also an a@@ shimmy or two). While the project has brought me a great deal of enjoyment, not nearly as much as reading this!

I don't know anything about menstruation, though it always thrills me to no end to hear a woman discussing that topic in excruciating detail. But I do know this... excessive consumption of flax seed oil has an effect very similar to a super-octane, high-powered laxative.
Actually, I don't know that either, but I think I read it somewhere.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
